according to an israeli poll out last friday, netanyahu's coalition government is still expected to end up with a plurality of parliament seats. this is important. the expected number is down to about 32. that's far below its high point of 44 last fall. on the left, the labor party is expected to hold 17 seats. and on the right, jewish home is expected to gain 14, up from 6 in an october poll. in all, a dozen parties are expected to pick up parliament seats. polls in israel will close at 10:00 local time, that's 3:00 p.m. eastern time, and we should start getting results about two hours later. joining me now to discuss all of this, the u.s./israeli relationship, and most importantly, where we go from here is former democratic california congresswoman, jane harman. congresswoman, it's a complicated situation. did netanyahu make a mistake my sort of aligning himself with the right coalition wise, rather than reaching more out to the center, as the polling suggests. the right is gaining steam, the center and center left are not. was that a miscalculation on his part, as we move forward? >>
